Let the Hebrew call the Yetzer hara by the name Kenny. Why? What happens to Kenny every episode? >> Oh my god, THEY KILLED KENNY. >> WHAT happens next episode? He comes back. It's a wild thing every time. It's not It's not your passion. No, I can see that with everything. But the whole Indian is this happens all the time. I work on something so hard. I think I got it. And then I'm shocked that it pops up again. Anger. No, no, this one we got. Jealousy. We're good over here. And then you see it comes back again. That's one level of holiness. The first type of kedusha we all know exists because the story of our life. I have moments that I've seen myself overcome struggles. But Kenny showed up again and I called him out. But then there's something else. I bless all of you to believe that this second thing exists. There's a level of holiness that you and I have that evil has absolutely no access to. That there's a kedusha in me that evil can never touch. The Indian is to believe this second level of kedusha that every one of us has. You see when I'm in a crisis, when I'm in a trauma, when I'm almost in deep into anxiety, I can sometimes fall into a place of this is going to fully consume me. If I remember this second type of kedusha, I was like yesh lo gvul. At a certain point there has to be an end. Why? Yesh makom betochi she'af echad lo yakhol lagat. There's a place in Am Yisrael that no nation, whatever they try to do to us, there's a kedusha that they they can't touch. If that's true about the cloud, that has to be true about the prophet as well. Me and my personal life.
